I got my first medal for placing in a race this morning. It was a 10k and though the rain may have scared away much of my competition, it showed me how far just running consistently can take you. Just 2 years ago I was happy with 10min miles!
Ran 5 days in a row last week for the first time in my life. Started a HM training program about 2 months ago and we are ramping up and last week called for 5 days in a row. Wasn't sure I could do it, prior to starting training at most I ran 2 days in a row and then had a rest day. Felt great all week, took yesterday off and then ran 5 miles today. Still feeling great! It's hard to hold back at this point. I want to just run!

2012 Goals: 2000 miles / sub 3 marathon (2:51?) / 2:15 1/2 mile / 4:30 mile / sub 17 5K

Take it anyway you can get it. Next time the speedsters will not be afraid of a little water.

12-week layoff
On Sunday, I ran 3 miles or so without stopping for the first time since I broke my ankle. It was slow, but it felt like a run, not the shuffle I have been managing since I started back. Now that I'm actually running, I'm going to start logging my runs again!
30 days of my comic strip in the bag. A short milestone. Sort of like making it to mile 1 in a marathon, but it still feels like a small accomplishment. Any kind of progress in running or in life is truly one step at a time. One day at a time.

So, it's nothing compared to the streaks some people have going, but I hit my 100th day today.
100 days, 975.6 miles.
I'm pretty geeked out about it--and going to sleep a LOT tonight to celebrate!
